[royalfan5]

I hate the Sonic commercials, but I think it is mostly cause they run every half inning during Royals games. That and they are dumb.

[def_lazer_fc]

any and all kay's jewelers commercials go down as my most hated. and ipod commercials too.

[royalfan5]

Jared's commercials suck a lot too.

[def_lazer_fc]

true. but i think kay's has found a whole new dimension of suck. so sappy i could vomit every time.

[sanantoniosooner]

If you can't produce a vid then it isn't suckworthy enough for universal disdain.

[GrapevineSooner]

Dave Thomas is rolling over in his grave.

[sanantoniosooner]

I actually think the Wendy wig could be funny if done right.

But the tree kicking and speech was the suck.

[def_lazer_fc]

here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=taSDYYwzeZU). its the only one i could find, and its not nearly as bad as the rest, but i have better things to do then search the internet for commercials.

They have to be the most boring commericals I've ever seen.

[IronSooner]

The worst are the Sonic commercials and that cell phone one where the girl walks in speaking text message-ese to her mom. I seriously wanna strangle that kid.

[josh09]

Suit Mart commercials. Im not sure if they only show around the Houston area or elsewhere, but theyre the most annoying crap ever.

[jk the sooner fan]

i love the sonic commercials!

the others mentioned, not so much

[King Crimson]

there's about 5 commercials they air during the Nuggets telecasts. they all suck after about the 8 billionth time.

heh, i like that commercial

THAT is what is S..N...F

i like the Sonic ones too

the one that's in Italian or whatever that they play at movies is likely my favorite

[yermom]

and, ugh the Avis and Wendy's commercials are just bad

[sooneron]

Those two ads that started this thread are friggin horrible. Glad I didn't have anything to do with them.

But the tree kicking and speech was the suck.I don't understand what their thinking is/was on the Wendy ad planning committee, other than something like "It's good for the public to think of you, no matter what it is they think of you."

[rufnek05]

i'm drunk and too tired to read all the posts to make sure this hasn't been said;
but i HATE wtih an extream passion the "above the influnce" and "anit smokeing" and by smoking i mean cigs and mary jane.
like the commercial where its like "simon says, stand up. simon says lay in the road. simon says stay there for 4 hours..... simons says fail a class and don't care. simon says don't care. simon says get high everyday"...



those bother me. i get do every day and i have a 3.5 GPA. so **** those guys. its all a personal choice/ prioritizing(sp?).




that is all

I've never understood to point of those commercials. Are you just trying to tell me how great your people are compared to others? Why waste money doing that? Is it a slick way for you to advertise your bingo halls? I'm pretty sure its not a recruiting tool. Come be a chickasaw. That aint happenin. Anyone??

yeah i can see where having commercials to encourage people to refrain from illegal activity would seem stupid

Some of my favorite commercials are the "dropped call" ones. Pretty clever. "Cat got your tongue? Earl got your tongue?"

it all makes sense now

[Pricetag]

The new Orville Redenbacher commercial with the "bloopers" from his classic commercials where an actor is wearing a mask to look like him. That's creepy no matter how you slice it.

[AllAboutThe'O']

For the love of God....GET RID OF DIGITAL MAX!
And while we're at it, tell Cox to get rid of that annoying theme music at the end of their commercials.

the very first commercials were great. the tator tot one was awesome. "You go strong to the hole or don't go at all!"

[rufnek05]

they are stupid. why don't they have anti-heroin, crack, pcp, acid, commercials. and if someone says its because it's a "gateway drug", **** that argument. if you say that then so is beer or any other alcohol.

[rufnek05]

oh and i hate those damned Brinks/ADT commercials. they are preying on people paranoias

[colleyvillesooner]

So, drinking beer is as much of a "gateway drug" as pot to harder drugs?? Ummm...ok...

because more people use marijuana than those other drugs?

let me ask you a question.......can you drink one or two beers and not be intoxicated?

can you smoke one or two joints and not be intoxicated?

[soonerinabilene]

Taco bell should not be allowed to make commercials.

The best commercials I have ever seen are the Terry Tate Reebok commercials.

Do you want more money? Sure, we all do...

[jk the sooner fan]

i'm not a pothead, so i dont really know

ok, let me rephrase it........can you drink one or two beers without becoming intoxicated?

can you take (insert appropriate number of hits off bong or joint here) without becoming high?

[sanantoniosooner]

potheads are touchy jk:D

[royalfan5]

The problem with the anti-pot ads is that they make folks want to smoke pot out of spite because of their inanity. It's like the anti-cigarette ads that get remind people they need a cigarette.

[jk the sooner fan]

really? i quit smoking cold turkey 11 years ago and i've never once seen an anti-smoking ad that made me want to light up

no offense, but thats just stupid

[sanantoniosooner]

I kind of like that there is an ad campaign to point out how stupid smokers are so that I don't have to do it myself.

[royalfan5]

my smoking roommates in college would always get up and have a smoke after those ads. I asked them about it, and they said the commericials were a trigger. No offense, but assuming your experience equals everyones is stupid.

When you are addicted everything is a trigger.

[yermom]

well, i'm not a pothead either... but in theory one could just smoke a little and not be incapacitated or something

i'm not really that sure why it's relevant

i'm sure the reason why it's not legal is that it kinda removes motivation. almost none of the people i know that smoke a lot have any real ambition to do much.

i didnt mean to imply you were, sorry if it came across that way

its my understanding that most people smoke weed to get high.....its not like a cigarette after a meal

however, not EVERYBODY drinks to excess - i had my one beer for the day with dinner and am fine to drive anywhere or operate heavy machinery

my point is that everybody so quickly makes the weed to beer comparison, and i just dont think its the best argument for the legalization crowd

[soonerboomer93]

there are levels of highness, just like levels of intoxication

some people drink because they like the taste, some drink to get a little buzz going, some people drink to get ****ty drunk, some drink to function


some people smoke a bowl to get a little high, a lot high, black out, or to function.

[soonerboomer93]

actually, it is like a cigarette after a meal, you get a reaction in your body based on the nicotine intake, that reaction and feeling leads to the nicotine addiction


and there are people who can smoke a joint and not get high...

[yermom]

well, except it's perfectly legal to drink yourself stupid in your own home

from personal experience, most of the time i'd rather be around a pothead that was high, than someone that was stupid drunk

[sanantoniosooner]

I pretty much prefer sober people unless they are on the internet.

[yermom]

that wasn't a choice :D

[C&CDean]

I crack up when I see people say "hell man, I smoke a little weed, and I function just fine..."

Uh, no you don't. You're a ****ing shell of what you could be. You're a waste product when compared to your full potential. You're marking time with your life - time you'll never get back.

Trust me, drop the bong. ASAP. Five years later you'll wonder "damn, how in the hell did I manage to get this far ahead?" Keep smoking, and in 5 years you'll be "damn, I'm sure happy to have this POS trailer to smoke my herb in - even if my mommy owns it and I'm 6 months in arrears on the rent."

[yermom]

it's not like alcohol is a picnic either...

[BigRedJed]

I agree. The Sonic commercials are great, IMO.

On the other hand, the very fact that we're talking about any of the commercials means they are working.

[yermom]

she comes home smelling of tater tots...

that one kills me

[jk the sooner fan]

when used to excess, absolutely not, but there ARE people who drink in moderation

but you're right, we've already got one legal social ill in this country, adding a second would be stupid imo

If by working it means I'll avoid Avis if at all possible.

Oh I ain't saying that at all. Although I know a whole lot of very successful (financially, personally, socially, etc.) folks who have a stout pop every now and then. I don't know any very successful potheads. Except in their own minds. You gotta remember I smoked that **** for 20 years. I know how it holds a brother down. Not saying a guy can't let booze get to him, but with weed, the guy ain't got a choice. You smoke it, you're dragging a big ol' anchor off your ***.

[C&CDean]

And just to get into the spirit of the thead, WTF is up with the new Chad Stevens "bling" Fowler commercials?

[jk the sooner fan]

what dean said, except i never smoked it for 20 years, but i did spend 15 years "working" with people that did - whoever says smoking pot doesnt lead to crime hasnt worked in my career field - and yes, alcohol leads to crime as well

[yermom]

well, as someone else mentioned, there are people that can smoke weed in moderation...

i just think we waste a lot of resources trying to keep people from getting high when they are going to anyway. it's not like crack or heroin

hell, how many years has it been since we had a President that hasn't smoked weed?

[jk the sooner fan]

how many years since we've had a president that smoked it while in office, or way back when in his youth?

i'm not advocating smoking it, but i think it's kinda silly for it to be illegal

and i have known at least moderately successful pot smokers

Dude, you're completely missing the point. I smoked weed. I'm so much more presidential than GWB that it ain't funny.

Smoking weed makes a loser out of a winner. It's a subtle, quiet, slow, almost imperceptable thing. Until 5 years has gone by and you're still taking the bus cause your license is suspended, you're still doing the same thing at work cause it's "comfy," you aren't a penny richer, a day more mature, or a minute ahead in your growth as a human. In many ways, pot is much worse than heroin and crack. Why? Cause it kills you sllllllloooooooowwwwwlllyyyy. And all the while you're thinking "hell man, I'm a functioning druggy." No. You. Ain't.

[yermom]

i'm just saying they have admitted to smoking it at some point. it's not like they are going to mention that on a PSA ;)

you can still be President if you try weed, it can't be that bad

i tried it twice, and i'm far from presidential

i think alot of our generation tried it, that doesnt mean we were all "frequent users".....i turned the lab coat in as soon as the "experimental phase" was over ;)

Heh. It feels like just the other day that I quit smoking weed. March, 1987. 20 ****ing years. On June 15, I will have 32 years with the gubmint. Seems impossible.

my use has probably not gone much past "experimental" either

i do think it's more about the person than the substance, i mean if it wasn't weed or alcohol it's Xanax or Vicodin or something

a lot of people are self-medicating depression or anxiety or whatever

i tend to think that anyone that recreationally uses drugs regularly has some other deeper problem (that includes alcohol)

[jk the sooner fan]

[SleestakSooner]

Damn, I suddenly want to spark one up and run to the bar for an all nighter! Can anyone say relapse? Anyhow, yeah those anti mary jane commercials suck bollz as well as the two mentioned in the original post, PLUS I hate the Mathis Brothers cheesy *** commercials so much that I swear one day I am gonna release a whole box of gerbils in that store!!!
